Albino X Het candy ?!?!?!?!?

[knightfall]

Hello so if I bred a Albino to a Candy I heard you can end up coming out with albino candys is this true ? please confirm

In the title it is het candy and in the description it says just candy. Is it het or a full candy? If it is full candy if I understand right you get 100% candinos (candy albino) and if it is het candy you get 50% candino and 50% het albino. I recommend going and playing around with the bhb reptiles genetic wizard and the World of ball pythons genetics.

Hi,

Actually you get candinos and het albinos.

They share a locus in the same way mojaves, lessers, het russos do.

So while you may get a visual adult it carries one candy gene and one albino gene. Every snake from the pairing would be het albino ( which looks normal ) but the ones that also inherit the candy gene will be visually different.

So you will be able to tell the difference fairly easily. The confusion comes in the next generation.

If you breed your candino to a visual albino then you get candinos and albinos - and you can't be sure which is which until they have grown up a bit and the colours start to develop.

Hope this helps a bit.
